FORCED LABOUR
NAZIS AND THE POLES FORMS OF COMPULSION "Among the many, ingredients of tlie Nazi plan for a new 'European order one has scarcely received the attention it deserves,"' says The Times, London. "During the pa:;t 18 months the use in Germany of Polish labour— whether in the form of so-called prisoners of war or of gangs oC workmen recruited since the conquest of Poland by methoods -which can -be left to the imagination—has been widely extended. "The same advantage has been taken of Germany's more recent territorial agg r a mli scm enl s. "Reports have appeared at various times during the last summer of the recruiting of Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch and Belgian workers to make up deficiencies of industrial or agricultural manpower in Germany. "Almost all this is forced, unwilling labour, even where the force used is confined to economic compulsion. These foreign helots in German factories and on German farms have been driven from their homes by the spectre of unemployment i and starvation."
